The February Issue is Here!

GoNaked Magazine – February 2026


This issue is a celebration of intimacy, desire, safety, and joy without the usual rules or romance scripts. Not a Valentine’s card. Not a sermon. More like a packed living room where men are half-naked, half-honest, and fully present. The conversations get messy. The air gets warm. And somewhere between flirting, truth-telling, and touch, better questions start getting asked. Not “Am I enough?” but “What happens if I stop hiding?”

Our February cover features Kevin. There’s humor in him. Heat. A wink of danger that never takes itself too seriously. He understands control well enough to loosen his grip. He understands exposure well enough to have fun with it. This isn’t a big reveal. It’s an invitation to stay a while.
